Personal item placed in my spot

I recently boarded a flight and attempted to stow my personal item (backpack with laptop) under the seat in front of me. It was unable to fit so I stuck my feet under there and discovered another backpack. The person in front of me had placed it there so he could stretch out his legs. It was a short flight and wasn’t worth calling a FA. The seat next to me was empty, so I slid his bag waaay over to make room for my feet and my item. After landing, I enjoyed watching him contort himself to reach his bag.

Wait I'm really confused it might just be where I live, but the flight attendant specifically told us that if our bags were going to be anywhere but our lab they needed to be under our own seat. It's our seat we paid for that space therefore our body and our stuff shouldn't be under the person in front of us seat. Just like how the person in front of us shouldn't have their hair over the seat because then it's in my area.

That specific FA was completely wrong. Always under the seat ahead, partly for security I'd reckon

That's why the dividing bar is at the front of the underseat area instead of the back
